WHO decides what the SPECIAL MASTER can remove from the DOJ case?

The courts?

If the Special Master can say "these docs are his and you cant have them, you cant use them in a case against him" WHO decides WHICH docs those are and are not?

And STOP calling it "politics" please, this is NOT about politics!

It seems whenever there is a discussion of MAGA or the traitor to include DeStupid, Giuliani or Graham etal happening anywhere in the media, it is treated as "politics" which in our media means there needs to be 4 repubs and 1 democrat in the discussion (as that is what is considered equal representation) and the interviewer has to imply that "both sides" do everything.



It was NOT politics when Hitler rose to power in Germany and ultimately murdered 6 million people not counting the war casualties.

Jan 6 was not about "politics," it was about insurrection and fascism!

I need a gif for someone at their kitchen table and their head exploding, kinda like "Scanners"

as this is what one would see about 60 MILLION times if a prez Hillary Clinton or prez Barack Obama took, for personal reasons, these type of documents to an unsecured location for ANY reason let alone what is clearly the reason here.

I would like to have that...so I can post it.

How many people were compromised or killed because Traitor would POCKET top secret docs

while in meetings while in the WH? (heard this reported today)

Can we know? Probably not since the existence of most of them is top secret. Or used to be.

You FUCKER!

Does anyone have a source for the comment about pocketing docs? I am looking. I heard it on MSNBC, I am certain it is true but the inevitable challenge is coming.

Can President Biden fire all postal board members

And replace them with enough members to outnumber deJoy and remove him? Does he have to appoint half Republicans and half Democrats but there is nine members but there is also a deputy.

Otherwise voting by mail will become an absolute shit show.

Since he can’t do it any other way I guess?

He won’t of course, because it would be seen as radical, but it is the only way probably to save our democracy. I am very frustrated that it’s probably not even being considered.

Would absolutely love to be wrong.


Turns out he can

Press Releases
Pascrell Calls on Biden to Fire Entire USPS Board of Governors
Postal governing body sat complicit to Trump and DeJoy’s spree of sabotage and subversion

Paterson, NJ, January 25, 2021
U.S. Rep. Bill Pascrell, Jr. (D-NJ-09) today wrote to President Joe Biden calling on him to fire the entire United States Postal Service (USPS) Board of Governors for their silence and complicity in Donald Trump and Postmaster General Louis DeJoy’s deliberate campaign to subvert vote-by-mail elections and destroy the Post Office.

“After several years of unprecedented sabotage, the United States Postal Service is teetering on the brink of collapse. Through the devastating arson of the Trump regime, the USPS Board of Governors sat silent. Their dereliction cannot now be forgotten. Therefore, I urge you to fire the entire Board of Governors and nominate a new slate of leaders to begin the hard work of rebuilding our Postal Service for the next century,” Pascrell writes President Biden.

As DeJoy’s efforts to dismantle mail sorting machines, cut overtime, restrict deliveries, and remove mailboxes slowed mail nationally, Donald Trump himself openly admitted that his administration was withholding funding for the Postal Service to make it harder to process mail-in ballots. Through it all, the Board of Governors did nothing to protect USPS.

Pursuant to Title 39, the USPS Board of Governors’ central responsibility is to “represent the public interest” and its members may be removed by the President “for cause.” Today, Pascrell urges President Biden to exercise that legal authority and fire all six sitting members of the Board of Governors for their dereliction and betrayal.

Who can explain why Prez Biden appointed a Mitch McConnell employee to the USPS board?

Derek Kan is who he appointed.

as a policy adviser to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, and as chief economist for the Senate Republican Policy



https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derek_Kan

Was the Prez required to appoint a non Democrat? If so, why this guy?

Looks like mail in voting is fucked. And I am angry.

I am aware of all the positions he has held and who appointed him, to include trump. What I dont understand is why him. DeJoy is there to stay now from what I can tell.

If the prez can fire all of them and start over, and I read he can, then he must. Cuz you see, the alternative is the mail in voting being fucked and then so is the country.

The vile twisted rightwing MAGA attitude that anything good must be destroyed, did NOT start with

traitor trump, it started here"




https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2018/11/newt-gingrich-says-youre-welcome/570832/



THE MAN WHO BROKE POLITICS
Newt Gingrich turned partisan battles into bloodsport, wrecked Congress, and paved the way for Trump’s rise. Now he’s reveling in his achievements.



Then, to make matters worse, the people doing good for the country, the people opposing the monster Gingrich, elected a BLACK MAN and this broke the brains of 45% of the country.

With all due respect, two of the greatest god damn guitar players ever and both RIP



I saw Tommy at Winterland, just before he died. Amazing.

And I never saw

Mr Rhoads





But I sure wish now I had. Do yourself a favor and listen to as much from these two guys as you can.



And I sure wish I knew more about the plane crash that killed Randy. The bus driver was fucking around buzzing the bus? Dammit.

Lawyer question: "Can the traitor appeal ANY AND ALL legal cases, criminal and civil, to the SC?"

If convicted of tax evasion in NY, can that be appealed all the way to the SC?

If convicted of Espionage, can that be appealed all the way to the US SC?

GA election fraud case?

Insurrection?

Please say no...you know why it has to be no, right?
